The start of Lyon's season has been turbulent. High-tension scenes followed the Champions League play-off second leg against Fenerbahçe, a 1-2 defeat after a 1-1 first leg.

Fresh trouble accompanied the latest home fixture, which ended 1-1 against Le Havre.

Among the cases under review is that of Meriem Bouchedda, a municipal councillor in Rillieux-la-Pape, who was assaulted with her husband after the match.
